Spiritually Mindful Working (6:59)
Why do you go to work – whether to an office, or at home, or homemaking? Do you work hard just to afford the vacation? Or for the security – to secure yourself and family? For fulfillment and a sense of purpose? Since it is such a significant portion of your day and life, it is important to identify the place and mission of your work in life

Spiritually Mindful Sleeping (5:22)
Such a mystery - the moment of transition from wakefulness to sleep, when your consciousness fades, and the Neshama, your animating energy, enters higher spiritual realms. Transition to sleep is both indescribable and delightful, a nightly gentle general anesthetic

Inhaling the Divine (4:57)
Did you know that you breathe about 1080 breaths every hour? In Jewish teachings an hour is divided into 1080 units, rather than 60 seconds – each one a different configuration of G-d’s creative forces to maintain the cosmos. Each breath is a new phase, thereby constantly changing and evolving the nature of existence

Rabbi Laibl Wolf (40)

4:57
Perpetual Creation (4:57)
Throw a stick upwards and at some point, having run out of the energy thrust, it falls back to earth. Everything exists because it is propelled into continuous existence through the Divine thrust of infinite energy that keeps it ‘flying upwards’. Were that energy to expire, even for a moment, the world would return to a state of nothingness
